2019【Slumdog Millionaire】
Seeing Zhang Yuqi's uncertainty, Xiang Nan then made appointments with Xiao Song Jia, Jiang Xin and Zhang Zilin.
Little Song Jia became famous in 2007 with the TV series "Crossing Guandong", Jiang Xin rose to prominence in 2003 when she starred as Mu Wanqing in "Dragon", and Zhang Zilin was last year's Miss World champion.
Like Zhang Yuqi, the three of them are beauties with gorgeous facial features and bulging figures. They are also very suitable for playing the female killers in "007: Quantum of Solace".
The three of them were very interested after receiving the invitation, and immediately said they would put down their work and make time to participate in training as soon as possible to win the role of the female killer.
After the news came out, it immediately caused a sensation.
The media in Mainland China and Hong Kong are all speculating on who will succeed in becoming the next Bond girl.
Not only the four candidates, but also other competing actresses were also included by the media.
Xiang Nan also received resumes from some brokerage companies, hoping that he could consider them as appropriate.
For a time, who will be the new Bond girl became the most eye-catching event in domestic entertainment.
Xiang Nan did not make a hasty decision. He took Xiao Song Jia, Jiang Xin, and Zhang Zilin back to Hollywood to conduct intensive training for them and select the most suitable candidates.
Subsequently, Zhang Yuqi also finished the filming of "Women Are Not Bad" as soon as possible and rushed to Hollywood to join them.
Originally, when Xiang Nan was only looking for her, she still had some old gods around and thought she was sure. But when Xiang Nan looked for Xiao Song Jia, Jiang Xin, and Zhang Zilin, she began to panic. Knowing that if she If you don’t work hard enough, you may really get screwed.
Therefore, she could only rush to Hollywood as soon as possible and train actively and hard in order to win Xiang Nan's recognition.
…
Although now four people are participating in the competition, the probability of getting the role of female killer is only one-quarter.
However, none of the four of them quit, and no one chose to give up training. They all gritted their teeth and persisted.
Because they all know that this is a rare opportunity.
In normal times, they would not even be able to find the entrance to Hollywood, but now they are only one step away.
And even if they fail this time, as long as they leave a good impression on Xiang Nan, good roles in the future will think of them.
Universal Pictures, MGM Pictures, and DreamWorks Pictures release more than ten movies a year, and there is always one that suits them.
Taking a step back, if they really can't go to Hollywood, they can also cooperate with ATV and Zhen Kung Fu Pictures.
These two companies are now well-known giants in the mainland entertainment industry. They produce a large number of movies and TV series every year, with good reputation and box office.
Xiang Nan was naturally very satisfied with this.
…
In March, Universal Pictures released "Slumdog Millionaire."
This film was invested and produced by Xiang Nan in 2006. It is directed and starred by Indian national treasure actor Aamir Khan. It tells the story of Jamal, a young man from the slums, who participates in a TV question and answer program and competes for a million-dollar prize. Use this to find the story of your lost childhood friend.
After this movie was released, it immediately caused a sensation.
On the one hand, although this story takes place in India, the way it is told is Western-style, with both American romantic inspiration and European humanistic care. Therefore, although it is an Indian movie, it has no barrier to audiences in other regions. feel.
On the one hand, the story itself is also excellent, with smooth rhythm, suspense and thrilling. Of course, everyone appreciates a good story, so although "Slumdog Millionaire" is an Indian movie, it performed very well at the box office.
It earned a box office of US$130 million in the United States and a global box office of US$310 million, making it the highest-grossing film in Indian film history.
The success of this movie also makes everyone admire Xiang Nan's luck. He just went to India to shoot a scene, but he didn't expect to choose such a successful project. It was really unbeatable luck.
It reminds people that he went to Australia to film in the 1980s, and ended up investing in three "Crocodile Dundee" movies, which earned billions in box office around the world.
The success of "Slumdog Millionaire" not only brought Aamir Khan to the limelight, but also made Xiang Nan famous in India. At that time, there were countless Indian stars, and the director hoped to cooperate with him.
Xiang Nan did not blindly agree, but still kept in touch with Indian filmmakers.
Because he knows that the level of film production in Bollywood in India is very high. Although it cannot be compared with Hollywood, to be honest, it is slightly better than that in the mainland. Firstly, the subject matter is bold enough, and secondly, the output is rich enough. Both of these points are It's not as beautiful as any mainland movie.
…
In March, the Oscar Awards ceremony was officially held.
Universal Pictures has no other achievements except for Will Smith, who was nominated for Best Actor for his starring role in "The Pursuit of Happiness."
On the other hand, "Transformers" produced by DreamWorks Pictures last year was shortlisted for three awards: Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Effects and Best Sound Editing.
The movie stars Andrew Garfield and Blake Lively. Originally, Spielberg wanted to cast Shia LaBeouf, but Xiang Nan rejected the offer.
Shia LaBeouf was born in 1986. He has been performing stand-up shows in cafes near his home since he was seven years old. He officially appeared in movies at the age of twelve and is now an experienced, seasoned and well-known artist. .
Spielberg admired his acting skills, and since LaBeouf was a worrier, he was willing to help him. However, Xiang Nan knew that Shia LaBeouf was a troublemaker.
After becoming famous, he became extremely crazy, fighting, fighting, drinking, driving drunk, swearing, and even domestic violence against his girlfriend, making himself infamous.
He originally became one of the most popular stars in Hollywood with the "Transformers" series. However, he was fired from the "Transformers" crew for committing suicide, and has been living in obscurity ever since.
His behavior also affected the filming of "Transformers", causing the crew to have to change actors midway, thus affecting the movie's box office.
…
In addition, Megan Fox was also interested in starring in "Transformers", but was replaced by Blake Lively by Xiang Nan.
The reason is the same as replacing Shia LaBeouf. Megan Fox is also a strange woman who started acting evil after she became famous. She insulted the director Michael Bay as a Hitler, insulted the producer Spielberg as a psycho, and was late. He left early to become a big star, so he was fired from the crew of "Transformers".
What's even more troublesome is that because Hollywood is dominated by those who worry too much, she almost never received any big productions after that, and could only waste her time in low-budget bad movies.
So Xiang Nan was replaced by Blake Lively, who was more obedient.
